THE SUBTLE BODY

Modern yoga is very often seen as a system of stretches, or a very dynamic physical practice that includes postures and, that focuses on the outer body with little or no attention paid to the real purpose of yoga.

The real journey of yoga is the inner quest and this workshop sets out to provide an overview of the subtle body from a holistic standpoint.

An awareness of the subtle body provides a map and tools to fully express the full benefit so yoga. The subtle body connects in many ways with the gross body through the breath, the body and the mind. Being aware of this and having the knowledge to access the subtle body via the gross body through Pranayama (breath), Bandhas (body) and Pratyahara (mind) makes yoga a profound inner journey to the truth.

This workshop introduces and explains the different aspects of the subtle body with detailed and concise definitions, providing a clear understanding.

Your workshop presenter Martin Thompson has over 45 years of yoga practice and study. His main role is leading the teacher training from the Yoga Dharma schools in Essex, Nottingham and Veliko Tarnovo.
